I've tried updating BIOS and chipset drivers but the latter are hard to come by legitimately due do the machines not supporting Vista/7 (even though the little sticker on the front says Vista compatible!)

As per the instructions I have attached my COMPUTERNAME.xxxx.zip archive to this post.

I have changed the Power Plan settings so that the Processor Performance Management settings for the System Cooling Policy are set to Passive.

Other than the above its a clean machine bar a few basic programs that are installed via GPO.

I was sure that it would be in those logs somewhere, I took a peek but couldnt work out where to start. As a matter of curiosity, where was the line that said Probably caused by: NIPALK.sys in those files?

I have a National Instruments installed on the PC which I will remove!

I will report back next Wednesday when I next get a chance to try removing this program. And will let you know if this works. I have a whole suite of 30 machines to image and can hopefully do it without the BSOD issues!
